Milwaukee, Madison, and Sheboygan district attorneys want a judge to dismiss Attorney General Josh Kaul’s lawsuit against Wisconsin’s abortion law.
The three prosecutors yesterday asked a judge to toss the case, saying Kaul shouldn’t be suing them.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne and Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said Kaul’s lawsuit infringes on their prosecutorial discretion.
“[The attorney general] does not have the right or interest in controlling, usurping or directing [prosecutions]” Chisholm wrote.
Sheboygan County D.A. Joel Urmanski said in a separate argument that Kaul should be asking lawmakers to change the 1849 law, not the court.
“[The AG is] wrong when they claim a law no longer has the consent of the governed and must be reenacted when a prior decision (here, Roe and its progeny) holding the law unconstitutional is reversed by a subsequent decision (here, Dobbs),” Urmanski wrote. “Even after a court has determined a statute violates the Constitution, the statute nevertheless continues to exist unless and until it is repealed by the Legislature.”
Ozane asked the judge to dismiss the case, but also says Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion law should be changed.
“The confusion over which law is in effect has wreaked havoc on reproductive care in Wisconsin, with Wisconsin physicians bearing the brunt of the chaos as they struggle to make these health- or life-threatening distinctions day in and day out,” Ozanne wrote. “Months later, no clarity has emerged: the Legislature has twice refused to legislate any solution.”Kaul filed his lawsuit not long after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, and allowed Wisconsin’s near total abortion ban to go back into effect.He initially wanted to sue Republican leaders in the legislature, but then change his lawsuit to focus on the prosecutors in the three counties where abortions used to be available in Wisconsin.The legal wrangling is […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
